There is ample parking at Snailbeach Village Hall, with is a box for voluntary contributions near the entrance. A public toilet is also located here.

Do NOT drive up the small road to Lordshill and do not park on the mine site itself.


Disabled Parking

There is a small parking space opposite the Visitor Centre next to the headgear. Drive up the hill and follow the road around to the right.  Where it bends left and goes up a hill, turn right along a track.  A short distance along here you will see the headgear on your right and a parking space next to it. Some parts of the site contain rough paths, steps, and steep slopes which may be un-suitable for wheelchairs and infirm visitors.

 Parking

There is no parking at the mine therefore it is necessary to park at Burgam Corner, rough ground on the inside of a bend, which is about 400 metres North of Tankerville Mine.

Walk along the road passing the pottery on your left and shortly after look out for a footpath, after a track, on your right which is the entrance to the mine.
